| Know before using | A company result is not a blanket approval; confirm the certificate scope, validity, facility, process, product, and transaction documentation for the exact purchase. | A listed facility and its certification status do not establish product quality, capacity, availability, upstream coverage, whole-chain performance, buyer fit, or the scope and result of a particular order. Confirm the exact legal entity and production unit, current certificate and scope, product and process capability, capacity, monitoring evidence, corrective actions, references, and commercial terms directly. | A generated pattern is not independent fit evidence or a production-ready graded block. The result still depends on accurate measurements, the selected design and options, ease assumptions, fabric behavior, construction, and representative test garments. An account stores saved patterns and measurement sets, so review the platform's privacy terms before retaining personal measurements. |

| What the source establishes | The official GOTS search exposes certified entities by country, field of operation, product category, and certification detail, including processing and trading scopes. | WRAP states that thousands of WRAP-certified facilities operate worldwide and that buyers can use the public route to verify a named factory's certification or find certified manufacturers for apparel, footwear, sewn and leather goods, textiles, and related products. The page exposes certified facilities and monitoring firms as separate routes. | FreeSewing's official documentation says the browser editor drafts a selected design in real time from a measurement set rather than scaling or grading a standard-size pattern. Users can adjust design options and export the generated result, including as PDF; saving the pattern to an account is optional and is used to revisit it later. |
